Hi lads, been on the forum for a while now, mainly cause of my saph and a few series 2's before that.

Just wondered how many miles you get out of a tank, economy driving really...

Only asking cause i recently brought a mk5 golf gti dsg, and didnt realise you ave to run them on 98 octane at least and cause i do 60 miles a day, it's starting to cripple me.

any input would be great thank you,

pete

 

you also have to run the Rs on 98 octane, mine has the usual mods and i get about 280 miles to a tank but my driving is mixed, i used to use it every day to commute to work though and it costs about £65 to fill it up which would last about a week and a bit.

 

My last one was 288bhp and I used to get 250miles all the time

My current one is standard and only does about 230 ???

 

Mine's about 300bhp and running about locally with the odd longer blast will see 250 to a a tank easy enough and it gets driven properly lol.....lots of motorway/cruising speeds have seen 300 out of a tank. Usually costs about £70 to fill up too (98).

 

same here

although with mine it doesn't matter how you drive it, it returns 235 ish miles around town (london traffic) and 300 or so on a motorway run taking it steady
